Mayor Guggemos had gotten some quotes for doing improvements
on Main Ave. W. extension. Several quotes were received, due to the historically
bad road conditions. Because the contractor is doing an existing project
(6th St. No) the cost of work would be in the best interest of the City
to have done now. Quast motioned to accept a proposal from Wm. Muller &
Sons, in the amount of 21,840.75, for removal of soil, placement of fabric,
and 4 inches sub-base, Lenz seconded, unanimously carried. Much of the funding

Quast & Wiemiller stated there was discrepancies with
what the Waldron contract stated for building inspection fees, and what
was stated to them. There also was a question with the fees, since the contract
stated "the City's fee schedule" and the 1988 schedule was attached
to the contract. It was decided to have a work shop with Waldron, 1/2 hour
prior to the next council meeting to work out the issues, so there is a
clear understanding of how fees will be charged, and the schedule the City
will use.

Administrator Mareck then requested to have the ICMA conference
(National conference) struck from his contract, and allow the other conferences
as part of his budget, Quast seconded, unanimously carried.

A property owner requested to have the city pay for repair
and replacement of his driveway and shut off that was Brent over from prior

prepare the site for repair of the shut off shaft, with all costs being
born by the property owner. The City will dig in and replace the shut off
valve and pay for the repair parts.

Guggemos had a request from Len Juncewski to allow him
to place an additional driveway in the townhouse addition on Linden Ave.
W., due to the fact that the proposed and approved entrances would have
lights shining into the houses. Ollig was concerned that the city following
the correct process of changing the preliminary plat. Guggemos had spoke
with the County Engineer, since this is a county road.
